When are we going to get a main line elite for Robert Rhode? To my knowledge he has only had 1 basic and one entrance greats release.

I really like this set, have pre-ordered Sasha, Edge, PS Hayes and King Corbin (this is the best looking figure in the set without a doubt)

I saw this thread and thought....easy, but then when I started to type and really think about it I actually found it really hard to choose. Mattel have made some pretty cool figures this year. But here is my top 10 list (in NO particular order).
Hollywood Hogan UE The Fiend Bray Wyatt UE Charlotte UE Bianca Belair E81 Ultimate Warrior Legends 8 Walter Ringside Exclusive Mae Young E81 Ivar E80 Erick E80 Kane Survivor Series Elite

I went for Bam Bam, Lugar, Mr. Perfect and Earthquake.
I do feel like we will get a 91 Rumble Sgt. Slaughter (would love one of these for my collection). I would love an updated Mr. Perfect as well.

I voted Backlash 2002. I reckon it's the best attire out of the 3, I prefer the boots and yellow belt. I would lobe a Hulk cloth shirt as well. We certainly do need a red and yellow long tights Hogan. Although I am sure Mattel have made one before. I believe it was E34?? (could be wrong). Although Mattel let us down with this one, we got the Hulk still rules shirt and the Boa but that's about it.
We certainly need an updated red and yellow Hogan.

An elite Titus is most certainly overdue. I thought we saw one, or was it a porotype at SDCC I believe he was in green attire maybe. What happened to that figure? I have the basics version but could do with an elite, we've waited a very long time.

For me, it's just Shirai and Fish from this set.

I am so glad I pre-ordered this figure when I did! What a great looking figure finally of Charlotte. Let's face it, the ones before have been pretty bleak to say the least and I am so glad and excited to finally welcome a great looking Charlotte into my collection.
MATTEL Have done a great job on this 5 star

This set is a complete pass for me guys. Nothing in this set excites me enough to buy them

This isn't the best set I have ever seen, most are a pass for me this time around. I will wait for Rollins and Lashley to come in Elite. We already know Sasha is coming

It's hard to say, I don't collect per era like some collectors do. I collect more generally, I try to at least have 1 figure of everyone I can. I don't have a Bobby H yet due to the legends line not coming out in the UK, I am currently hunting him down on other sites!!

I think now the legends line is back on there is much more of a chance these figures can be released down the line. There is a huge list for me that I am waiting for and I am hoping that all eras will be represented in time.
I would love to see the likes of Pedro Morales, Harley Race, Ivan Koloff and Bubby Rodgers. I would love to see a Sgt. Slaughter from his heel days (rumble 91 attire), Mr Perfect, Tito Santana, Rick Martel and Jeff Jarrett.

Far to many to mention to be honest but top of the list - UE Hogan, Edge, Macho Man and Fiend. Elites - Io Shirai, Viking Raiders, Street Profits, Belair, Stunning Steve Austin, Jerry Lawler and British Bulldog. Legends Series - Jake Roberts, Valentine, Ultimate Warrior.
I could go on and on.... lol

Are we going to get legends series 7, 8, 9 and 10 and decade of dominance anywhere? I’ve asked Smyths if they are going to stock them and they said “they have no plans”. I’ve asked a few online stores I get mine from and they “don’t know” if they can get them.
We can’t order from Target or Walmart??
Does this mean we have to pay inflated prices on eBay as always??

How do they only get one figure per box though? I dont understand how come there arent any other figures in the box form that wave. just like here in the states mattel creates assortment cases or character specific cases. Smyths orders cases of just the figures they want or think they will sell through as opposed to the traditional assortment cases. Several independent shops in the states have this option. Most big box stores purchase the assorments I asked them and that is what they said!! They pick which assortments they want and that’s what they get sent so they don’t always have the full sets in stores anymore which means more shopping around for us guys.

I sent them an email and asked, they said there is currently no plans on any further releases but I guess it will depend on how they sell. If they sell really well why wouldn’t they??

The idea is great, love the packaging and the idea of getting all the characters. However the figure itself is.....let’s just say I much prefer the basic. I will grab the basic and put the basic figure with this set.

Here’s my theory, he’s no longer under contract and they are trying to get the rights back to him. Steve is well aware of the demand for Harley and I fully believe that if they had the rights we would have seen a prototype or a render shown at SDCC. Just my thoughts on it. I couldn’t agree more, I think if Steve and Bill have their way we are certainly going to see a Harley Race in 2021/22
